Críticas
' Happily, his rich, descriptive writing, peppered with personal reminiscences and anecdotes, is every bit as evocative as his pictures.' (Eastern Daily Press, March 2011). '...so lavishly illustrated with his marvellously atmospheric images that its text could almost be described as one long picture caption.' (The Independent, April 2011). ' His [Peter's] many anecdotes help to enrich a book which is a happy blend of both familiar and unfamiliar, past and present.' (Leicester Mercury, April 2011). 'A warm, witty and intriguing view of the England we all love.' (Countryside Voice, Spring 2011). 'Such a lovely book...a joy to read.' (Shropshire Star, May 2011).

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Cross Country photographer and author Peter Ashley unleashes his passion for Blighty. He takes us on an enlightening jaunt that encompasses many of Englands most loved regions. His love of buildings and landscape extends far beyond architecture in picturesque surroundings. By combining personal reminiscence and an ear for intriguing anecdote, he shows us with wit, and sometimes irreverent comment, just how richly varied the fabric of England is: abandoned Cornish tin mines above tide-washed caves; Norfolk boat sheds leaning on salt marches; Romney Marsh shepherds houses disappearing behind roadside willows; and hedges looked over in Wiltshire. Local details are found in both Essex estuaries and Cumbrian sand dunes; and long abandoned railway lines are once again pressed into service to take us around his beloved High Leicestershire. Ashley never misses the curious and neglected be it a sheep wash in the Cotswolds or a disused petrol pump in Herefordshire. He travels deep into t eh countryside he cares about. His wry observations allow us to rediscover and delight in what many of us might previously have deemed familiar territory. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR005176790
